The Tigers didn't have the game they were hoping for. They open the season with a 59-14 defeat to the #20 Miss. St. Bulldogs. But was it all doom and gloom?

The Tiger defensive line was supposed to be the strength of the defense. They were pushed around all night and the Bulldogs racked up 646 yards of offense in the game, 405 of it in the first half and 309 were given up on the ground.
